I agree that wall-clock time will be used more often, but I’m not convinced that `Instant` is necessarily simpler or clearer than `SystemTime`. Arguably, the latter communicates more directly that the value comes from the system clock and is subject to clock adjustments. That said, let’s see what Derick and others think about the naming.
Hi! Is this not an argument FOR `Instant` instead of against it? `SystemTime` sounds more like something that would belong in that `Clock namespace while `Instant` represents a point in time that might well be far before or after the existence of the system itself. It does not advertise any relation to the system or wall clock. It could be the time of the big bang. Naming it `SystemTime` wouldn't make any sense. BR, Juris
